Cat Burns Almost Became A Basketball Star?!

We find out the alternative career path MTV PUSH UK & IRE 2022 nominee Cat Burns nearly chose...

Cat Burns is another of the incredible artists that have earned a place as a nominee for MTV PUSH UK & IRE 2022!

Speaking to MTV in our exclusive interview, the “acoustic pop” singer revealed: “It feels so good to be nominated for MTV PUSH 2022 and so early in my career, so the fact that I’ve even been nominated is a win for me.

“I always loved music. Since I was young my mum would sing around the house, so then I just started singing around the house. I was in choirs at school, I went to BRIT School in Year 10, so at 14, and that’s where I kind of grew the confidence and realised that I could actually do it as a career. Then when I was 16, I put out my first little project, it was called 'Adolescent', and that did kind of well.”

When speaking on her music career highlights so far, Cat told us: “I think my music career highlights would be this, being nominated for MTV PUSH 2022, and I’d probably say signing a deal...that was like a career highlight for me. And my song 'Go' hitting a million streams that was like a highlight for me [too].”

The 'It's Over' singer also revealed: “I played basketball from the age of nine to about eleven, and my coach was always, like, if you just keep working hard you could be in the WNBA, and as soon as he told me that I was like 'I don’t wanna be in the WNBA, like this is not... this isn't fun for me anymore.' I chose music instead.”

On what's coming up in the year ahead, Cat said: “This year I plan on just releasing a lot more music... I’ve got something coming out very soon. But yeah, just a lot more music, a lot of gigs, playing live, just music and gigs mainly.”

We just KNOW that this is only the beginning of Cat Burns!
